 Introduction
Welcome to the world of psionics, where the power
of the mind is as deadly as any sword and as versatile
as any spell. The psionicist class is a true master of
mental manipulation and communication, capable of
bending the thoughts of others to their will, extracting
information from the minds of their enemies, and
unleashing devastating psychic attacks that can leave
even the strongest foes reeling.
Drawing inspiration from the first edition of D&D,
the psionicist has been carefully crafted to fit seam-
lessly into the fifth edition ruleset, while maintaining
the unique flavor of psionics that made it so popular
in the early days of the game. With a focus on mental
defense, communication, and assault, the psionicist
is a versatile and exciting class that offers a wealth
of options for creative players.
As a psionicist, you will learn to master a wide
range of psionic powers, from communicating with
creatures regardless of language or intelligence, to
reading the surface thoughts of your enemies to gain
an advantage in combat. With the ability to form
deep connections with others and weave intricate
networks of influence and power, the psionicist is a
formidable presence both on and off the battlefield.
But mastering the power of the mind is not without
its challenges. As a psionicist, you must learn to protect
your own mind from mental intrusion, even as you
seek to penetrate the thoughts of others. You must
also be prepared to face the consequences of wielding
such power, as your actions may have far-reaching
consequences for those around you.
If you are ready to delve into the world of psionics,
the psionicist class offers a unique and rewarding
experience that is sure to keep you engaged and en-
tertained for hours on end. So sharpen your mind and
hone your skills, for the power of the mind awaits!

however. Instead, the most potent effect—such as the

while their durations overlap, or the most recent effect

Activation Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Upon activating this psionic power, you gain the
extraordinary ability to perceive the world around you
with 360-degree vision. This enhanced perception
allows you to be aware of everything happening in
your surroundings simultaneously, making it difficult
for opponents to catch you off guard.
As a result of this heightened awareness, enemies
can no longer gain advantage on their attack rolls
against you through flanking, pack tactics, or the as-
sassinate ability. Moreover, rogues find it impossible
to execute sneak attacks, and the extra damage from
the martial advantage feature is negated.
In addition to these defensive benefits, you also
gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
However, this power comes with a vulnerability: you

attacks, as your constant vigilance makes it difficult
to avert your eyes in time.

 Appendix B: Multiclassing a Psionicist
When multiclassing with the psionicist class, use the
following guidelines.
Prerequisite: you must have an Intelligence of at
least 13.
Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in light armor,
shields, and simple weapons
When multiclassing into the psionicist class, follow
the guidelines outlined in Chapter 6: Customization
Options in the Player’s Handbook. Psionicists combine
all their class levels to determine their total spell-
caster level. To determine the number of spell slots
available, refer to the multiclass spellcaster table,
which takes into account the combined spellcaster
levels from other classes.
While casting spells using classes other than psioni-
cist, simply utilize the spell slots from the multiclass
spellcaster table for your total level, following the rules
for each class and level. As usual, if you are granted
a spell slot of a higher level than you could normally
cast, you can only use the slot to upcast a spell of a
level you could normally cast.
However, when activating a psionic power, convert
the spell slots into psionic power points using the
following conversion rates:

” A 1st-level spell slot is worth 2 power points

” A 2nd-level spell slot is worth 3 power points
” A 3rd-level spell slot is worth 5 power points
” A 4th-level spell slot is worth 6 power points
” A 5th-level spell slot is worth 7 power points
” A 6th-level spell slot is worth 9 power points
” A 7th-level spell slot is worth 10 power points
” An 8th-level spell slot is worth 11 power points
” A 9th-level spell slot is worth 13 power points

By following these guidelines, players can seamlessly

integrate psionic powers into their multiclass
characters and make use of both spell slots and
power points effectively during gameplay.
Please note that you no longer have a separate pool
of power points when multiclassing. Instead, you
use the multiclass spellcaster table for both classes
and dynamically convert your spell slots to psionic
power points as needed.
